John, please stop scrolling for a moment – seriously, just one! I only need a minute of your time to explain why our upcoming FEC reporting deadline is so critical to defeating Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA). (If you'd like to go ahead and make a contribution, you can do that here! We're about 25% of the way to our $75,000 goal and are counting on your donation.)

This campaign is worth fighting for because of so many reasons, but let me share just a few of the ones that are most on my mind right now:

This campaign is worth fighting for because fewer Iowans approve of Sen. Grassley today than EVER before – and that number keeps shrinking.

This campaign is worth fighting for because even Iowa's top pollster has pointed to "weakness" in Sen. Grassley's polling numbers. He's never been this vulnerable.

This campaign is worth fighting for because, after nearly half a century in Washington, Sen. Grassley has left working families, like my own, behind. It's time for new leadership.

This campaign is worth fighting for because I promise that nobody – nobody – will work harder than I will to defeat Sen. Grassley and expand our Democratic Senate majority.

I know you care about this race, and your support means the world to me. It's only because of your belief in our campaign that we're able to truly compete. It's only because of you that, this November, we're going to defeat Sen. Grassley and expand our Senate majority.

I don't want to sugarcoat things here: we've still got a lot left to raise before our major FEC reporting deadline. To hit our goal, we need to raise another $$48,295. So, if you share in my belief that this campaign is worth fighting for, I am counting on you to make a contribution right now.

Please, before this public FEC fundraising deadline, rush $5 or more to help me defeat Sen. Grassley and expand our Senate majority. Every donation gets us that much closer to hitting this incredibly important fundraising goal, so please chip in whatever you can right now.

Thank you for all that you do. It means the world to me.

– Abby
